Latin text

Aeterne rerum conditor,

noctem diemque qui regis,

et temporum das tempora,

ut alleves fastidium;

Praeco diei iam sonat,

noctis profundae pervigil,

nocturna lux viantibus

a nocte noctem segregans.

Hoc excitatus lucifer

solvit polum caligine,

hoc omnis erronum chorus

vias nocendi deserit.

Hoc nauta vires colligit

pontique mitescunt freta,

hoc ipsa petra ecclesiae

canente culpam diluit.

Surgamus ergo strenue!

Gallus iacentes excitat,

et somnolentos increpat,

Gallus negantes arguit.

Gallo canente spes redit,

aegris salus refunditur,

mucro latronis conditur,

lapsis fides revertitur.

Iesu, labantes respice,

et nos videndo corrige,

si respicis, lapsus cadunt,

fletuque culpa solvitur.

Tu lux refulge sensibus,

mentisque somnum discute,

te nostra vox primum sonet

et ore psallamus tibi.

Deo Patri sit gloria,

ejusque soli Filio,

cum Spiritu Paraclito,

in sempiterna saecula.

Amen.
